In order to assess colonic motility of chronic constipation, colonic transit test was carried out in 34 patients with chronic constipation and in 20 healthy subjects. 20 radiopaque markers are ingested at 8 am before the day test, and plain abdominal films were obtained at 24 h, 48 h and 72 h. The normal value of colonic transit test was 16(80%), or more markers passed after 72 h. By means of transit time study, 34 constipated patients were classified into 2 groups: 12 normal transit patients and 22 slow transit patients. There was no difference in colonic transit time between normal transit patients and controls (P＞0.05). Patients with slow transit had more markers left in right colon, left colon and rectosigmoid colon at 48 h (P＜0.01, respectively) and 72 h (P＜0.01, respectively). According to the transit index, 22 slow transit patients were divided into 3 types: 10 cases colonic stasis, 8 cases outlet obstruction and 4 cases colorectal stasis. The study suggests that chronic constipated patients have abnormalbilities of colonic transit.

Objective To explore the feasibility and effect of intervention therapy for patients subclavian steal syndrome.MethodsThe data of 35 patients with subclavian artery steal syndrome in neurology department of our hospital from October 2014 to March 2016 were retrospectively analyzed.All patients treated with pecutaneous transtuminl angioplasty and stenting.The degree of vascular stenosis was measured by digital subtraction angiography, the inter-arm blood pressure was tested by mercury sphygmomanometer.And the clinical manifestations before and after surgery were compared.All patients were followed up for 1 to 12 months,the clinical manifestations,blood flow and vascular stenosis degree in patients were observed.Results All patients were finished pecutaneous transtuminl angioplasty and stenting successfully,7 patients with serious vascular stenosis treated with percutaneous intravascular balloon dilatation at first.The average artery stenosis before operation was(74.73±10.42)%,while it decreased to(8.60+3.16)% after surgery,which were measured by DSA,the difference was significant(P<0.01).The result from mercury sphygmomanometer showed that the inter-arm blood pressure from preoperative(44.43±10.12)mmHg to postoperative (10.09+4.80)mmHg (2~7 days),systolic blood pressure differential minified significantly,the difference was significant(P<0.01).All patients were followed up for 1 to 12 months,support forms of 34 cases were in good conditions without new narrow,1 case appeared narrow in postoperative 7 months,then recovered after reoperation;symptoms of 28 cases significantly improved or disappeared,5 cases partly alleviated,2 cases had recurrence,no serious complications such as thrombosis and severe infarction occurred.Conclusion The pecutaneous transtuminl angioplasty and stenting is stable,high successful and low short-term recurrence rate for subclavian steal syndrome,which is good to alleviate vascular stenosis,reduce interrm blood pressure difference and improve clinical manifestation.

Wingless type protein (Wnt protein) is a group of protein which plays an important role in the process of animal growth and hemopoiesis,the signaling pathway they conducted was called Wnt signaling pathway,and its abnormal activation can lead to many tumors,include lung caner.As a tumor suppressor gene,WIF-1 can restrain the activation of Wnt signaling pathway,which can avoid lung cancer.WIF-l's methylation can downregulate the expression of WIF-1,which can activate Wnt signaling pathway and cause lung cancer.So the detection of WIF-1's methylation may contribute to clinical diagnose of lung cancer,and therapy of WIF-1 's methylation may be one of the treatment metheds of lung cancer.

Study the immunological adjuvant function of biodegradable microspheres for DNA immunization. Empty poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolic acid) microspheres were prepared using the water-inoil-in-water(w-o-w)technique; A plasmid DNA pRc-CMV encoding hepatitis B virus S antigen was constructed;The mixture of the microspheres and the plasmid DNA was prepared by incubation method. The mixture was administered to Balb/c mice by intramuscular injection. Result: The high antibody titer (1:1600) of intramuscular injection of the mixture of microspheres and the plasmid DNA was obtained, similar to that of intramuscular injection of the mixture of AL(OH)3 and hepatitis B virus S antigen; while intramuscular injection the plasmid DNA elicited no serum antibody respones. Conclusion: biodegradable microspheres may be used as an good adjuvant for DNA immunization.

Objective To explore the causes and management of delayed un ion and non-union of long bone fracture of the leg. Methods 13 cases of delayed union and non-union of long bone fracture of the leg were treated with interlo cking intramedullary nails. 2 cases were given close implanting, and 11 cases we re managed with open reduction, of whom 9 were also grafted with autogenous bone . All patients were given early static interlocking, and 4 cases were given late dynamic interlocking. Results X-rays and follow-up showed that all patients h ealed up after an average of 14.5 months.Conclusions Interlocking intramedullary nails are a satisfactory method to treat delayed union and non-union of long b one fracture of the leg. The key points of the operation are reaming, selecting suitable nails and dynamic interlocking when necessary.

The endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) in endothelial cells contributes to the development of cardiac fibrosis,ultimately leading to cardiac remodeling.In this study,the effects and molecular mechanisms of celastrol (CEL) on transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1)-induced EndMT in human umbilical vein endothelial (HUVEC-12) cells were investigated.The presented data demonstrated.that CEL significantly blocked the morphology change of HUVEC-12 cells induced by TGF-β1 without cell cytotoxicity.In accordance with these findings,CEL blocked TGF-β1-induced EndMT as evidenced by the inhibition of the mesenchymal markers,including collagen Ⅰ,Ⅲ,α-SMA,fibronectin mRNA expression,and the increase in the mRNA expression of endothelial cell marker CD31.These changes were also confirmed by double immunofluorescence staining of CD31 and vimentin.The in vitro scratch assay showed that CEL inhibited the migration capacity of the transitioned endothelial cells induced by TGF-β1.Further experiments showed that the beneficial effect of CEL on blocking the EndMT in HUVEC-12 cells was associated with the suppression of the TGF-β1/Smads signalling pathway,which was also confirmed by the inhibition of its downstream transcription factor snail1,twistl,twist2,ZEB1 and ZEB2.These results indicate that CEL blocks TGF-β1-induced EndMT through TGF-β1/Smads signalling pathway and suggest that it may be a feasible therapy for cardiac fibrosis diseases.

Objective:To study the effect of Rhizoma Coptidis apozem on expression of AMP-activated protein kinase(AMPK) in skeletal muscle of metabolic syndrome rats. Methods:The models were established by administering high fat diet. Rats were randomly divided into five group: normal control group, metabriolic syndome group, Rhizoma Coptidis apozem group, Berberine group, Metformin group. To estimate insulin resistance by euglycemic hyperinsulinemic glucose clamp(GC) tecchnique. To estimate expression of AMPK by using Western blot. Results: Compared with metabolic syndrome group, Rhizoma Coptidis apozem group had higher M-value, lower wet weight of innards fat, and higher protein level of p-AMPK-?. Conclusion: Rhizoma Coptidis apozem can improve insulin resistance, decrease innards fat, and regulate up expression of AMPK.

Objective To compare the therapeutic effect of two Methodsof in vitro oocyte maturation (IVM) technology with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients in infertility treatment.MethodsRetrospective analysis was performed on patients with PCOS infertility who were stimulated with two different kinds of stimulating method of the IVM cycle in our center during April 2010 and August 2010.There were 20 patients in the temporary FSH stimulating group (group A) and 31 patients in the HCG stimulating group (group B).The number of oocytes maturation rate,fertilization rate,cleavage rate,excellent embryo rate,implantation rate,pregnancy rate per oocyte recycle,pregnancy rate per transfer and abortion rate of transfer were compared.ResultsThere was no significant difference between the two groups of age,duration of infertility,body mass index,based sex hormone levels by t test(P＞0.05).There was no significant difference between the two groups of the number of oocytes retrieved,oocyte maturation rate,cleavage rate,and abortion rate of transfer(P＞0.05).In group B,the fertilization rate was 80.3%,good-quality-embryo rate was 49.8%,implantation rate was 31.5%,pregnancy rate per oocyte recycle was 54.8%,which was significantly higher than in group A (73.9%,35.4%,12.5% and 25.0%,respectively).ConclusionsIf IVM was used to treat PCOS patients with infertility,HCG stimulating will be better than FSH stimulating,and it could result in a higher clinical pregnancy rate.

Objective To analyze the medium and long-term results of tricuspid valve replacement (TVR)and summarize the operative experience for tricuspid valve disease.Methods Clinical data of 27 patients with severe tricuspid valve disease from September 2005 to May 2010 were retrospectively reviewed.Biological valve prosthesis was replaced in 23 patients,while mechanical valve prosthesis was replaced in 4 patients.Accompanying procedures included mitral valve replacement in 8 cases,mitral valve replacement and aortic valve replacement in 4 cases,and repair of atrial septal defect in 4 cases.Results The operative mortality was 11.1％(3/27),among these patients,2 cases died of serious low cardiac output syndrome,1case died of muhiorgan failure on the 7th day after operation,1 case who underwent reoperation for hemorrhage postoperative was improved after treatment.During follow-up,1 patient died of biological valve prosthesis dysfuncion 3 years after operation,1 patient died of cerebral embolism 19 months after operation.Six cases were in New York Heart Association(NYHA)class Ⅰ,and 14 cases in NYHA class Ⅱ during the period of follow-up.Conclusions Because operative and follow-up mortality is high,TVR is the last selection for the treatment of tricuspid valve disease.Appropriate operative technique and perioperative therapy are the key for clinical success.For those older than 50 years,follow-up inconvenience and reproductive-age female patients,biological valve prosthesis should be recommended as a preferential choice.
